I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

92 – Dyna’s Mistake

“Quaaa What is this!!!”

A woman’s tearing scream echoed from the bloody landfill.

The thief Dyna was screaming at the sight of her friend’s headless body.

“I didn’t call you to do this!!! aaa!!!! It’s so real!!! I didn’t know you would actually kill me! still… Still, I thought the least affection would remain!!! After arguing, I thought he would forgive me and save me in the end!!!”

“That’s your idea. I was here to kill Serena from the start.”

Faust dismissed it coldly, without blinking an eye.

Dina grabbed her face and fell to the floor crying.

“No matter how much you hate it! There was even a way to make them live to atone for their sins! Ahh!! Faust, you really… Serena is a poor child. He’s been through a hard life! Did you have to kill him?!”

“yes.”

This time, too, Faust did not hesitate and made a sharp assertion.

“Huh… Whoa… ”

Dina sobbed for a long time, unable to contain her sadness.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have left Serena alone whether she was crazy or not. I made a friend die for nothing… aaa!! aaa!!!”

“what… Wasn’t it your specialty? Since olden times.”

“Huh… ugh… what, what?”

Dina, noticing that Faust’s words had a thorn in them, asked while wiping her tears.

“You’re not going to say there’s no guessing, are you? 『The Great Sword Crescent』?”

“Ugh… He-to bring up such an old nickname.”

Dina suddenly had an Achilles tendon.

Because this broken bridge was the very symbol of the past that could not be returned.

“Now I can’t steal even if I want to. I can’t move as quickly as I used to. You know the reason best, Faust… ”

“yes. Because I am the one who cut your tendons. Don’t you know why I did that?”

“… … … … .”

Dyna’s eyebrows went down weakly in the shape of an octahedron.

Born as a daughter of a lower noble family, she was a free spirit who grew up in an enviable environment.

She had a pretty face as well, so marriage talks came in constantly, and she was born with physical abilities, so she enjoyed a youthful life with nothing she couldn’t get her hands on.

Such an undeserved environment made her grow up to be an unreasonable character, committing unscrupulous nuisances without hesitation, such as starting stealing just because she wanted attention, arguing with Faust who was still, and stealing papers because she wanted to increase her medicine. .

Dina was an unrivaled expert in the field of “showing off”.

“The direct culprit for stealing my thesis was you, Dina. Using that proud foot, they sneaked into my room without even a mouse or a bird knowing… ?”

“That, that… !!”

“You don’t know, but to complete a thesis, we have to work hard. I mean, I only wrote one piece over the course of several years. The feeling of being accused of plagiarism is not enough to have it stolen… It is very dirty.”

“… … … .”

Even with ten mouths, there was nothing to say.

“Besides, you didn’t even have a grudge against me. I’m not dealing with you, so I’m trying to get attention… No, he said he stole the thesis to attract aggro? Does that make sense? Do you really think that makes sense? Ruining people’s lives for such trivial reasons?”

“… Umm… ”

Dyna couldn’t say anything like a mute and broke out in a cold sweat.

“Even so, it seems like the job has grown so big that I can’t handle it on my own line, so I shamelessly shut my mouth and pretend I don’t know. uh… Just think about how many people suffered because of you.”

“… … … … ”

In fact, Dina herself had recently been thinking similar thoughts and falling into self-loathing.

A person can never understand a person’s heart until they have suffered the same pain.

For example, if you look at the records of famines in the past, there are often hideous contents such as “Parents were hungry and ate their children.”

It is easy to loftyly evaluate “How can parents eat their own children?!”, but it is impossible to understand the urgency until the situation hits.

Humans can only understand that pain by directly feeling it.

Dyna was also hated and bullied wherever she went after 「The Great Destruction」, and was able to sympathize with Faust’s hardships, albeit fragmentarily.

‘I had friends like Beatrice and Serena, so I depended on each other and endured, but Faust was completely alone… completely’

‘It must have been difficult… really’

Dina recalled the memory of the last time she went to see Faust, not long before Kwak Dong-soo died.

“Kick kick. you can’t ignore me anymore This time, I have to say that we should fight again.”

Dina, who visited the stable with a light heart, was shocked to see Faust’s exhausted back and was unable to speak to her, and froze on the spot.

At the academy, Faust, who had been dressed soberly, was walking with a bucket full of fodder in both hands, clad in a drapery stained with stains and horse manure.

The question, “Why is horse manure aside from stains?” was quickly resolved.

It was because I watched in real time a group of young children running with mop full of horse manure and throwing it at Faust.

“Let’s throw horse dung at the horse dung! I will eat it while enjoying it!」

“Why?”

“Because you’re a poop! Fuhahahaha!」

“He’s an adult, can he do this?”

“doesn’t care! Mom said you can bully that old man as much as you want!”

That day, Dina starkly witnessed the reality of Faust, who was treated as a toy that even the neighborhood children could play with freely.

Faust, who had been thrown horse dung on his way to work, put down the bucket and looked back.

His gaze, cold as ice and sharp as a sword, was very different from his impression at the academy.

“ah! The buzzard is angry!」

“Let’s tell the soldiers~”

“Kiki Kick! Don’t worry, he can’t do anything to us anyway!”

「Melong~」

The children stuck out their tongues and mocked Faust until the end, then ran away.

Among them, there was a child who teased by spanking and spanking.

“… … … … .”

Faust remained silent until the end, glaring at the fleeing children.

The horse dung stains on his clothes were made in this way.

A person who used to be a professor at the academy has fallen into a life of physical labor while being hit by flying horse dung, so it is inevitable that his impression will change.

「F-Faust… 」

Dina mustered up the courage to call out his name.

Until then, I was thinking of requesting a rematch as originally intended, but

“go away”

“… … … .”

I was so frightened by his bloody expression that I had to return without saying anything.

Dina also watched Faust go back to work and get kicked by a middle-aged man who is presumed to be his boss with the words, “Why are you so late?”

He pinched his nose proudly and said, “Oh, what a smell! Even the kids ignore you because you smell like horse manure! Don’t blame others all the time, think about washing yourself!”

But even if Faust wanted to wash, he couldn’t.

When I tried to enter the bathhouse, the owner and the guests all booed and kicked me out.

Of course, the boss knew about it, but he was deliberately sarcastic.

It was such a bloody working environment that even the ignorant Dinah thought that she should never come here again.

‘Faust worked in the stables for years while being treated like that. Being kicked out of the academy… ‘

Even on the day Faust, accused of being an unscrupulous plagiarist, packed up and left the academy, students insulted him by throwing rocks and tree branches out the window.

It was too rough and ungrateful treatment to be called a lawsuit against the teacher.

Faust’s back at that time was also very lonely… .

‘I knew. That Faust is not a plagiarist… ‘

‘Rather, Faust was the victim’

‘I stole Faust’s thesis and brought it to Kwak Dong-soo’

Faust never cried or showed frustration.

It must have been to protect his own self-esteem.

In other words, wouldn’t it mean that he had time to care about his ego?

Faust, whom Dina saw, was always in a bad mood and angry, but he never seemed sick or sad.

Maybe that’s why, I don’t think I felt much guilt.

However, I realized after I was in a similar situation.

Faust wasn’t all right… I was just desperately noticing.

Because I don’t want to show weakness to those who bully me.

On the inside, he must have been burning with bitterness and pain.

understand that now

So, in fact, I tried to apologize when I met Faust.

Although not as much as Beatrice, the feeling of sorry had begun to sprout in Dina’s heart like a seedling.

However, seeing Serena’s head exploding in front of her eyes, Dina panicked.

I never thought that Faust would kill Serena at once without hesitation.

“You Faust! You really hate us enough to kill us! So you’re thinking of killing us all?!”

“uh… Now you are the only one left.”

“what?! Me, I’m the only one left… no way… ”

Dyna trembled as she pictured her comrades who had become corpses in her head.

“all… did you kill it? Not only Serena… Oh, and Alice… T, Tiffania too… Be, even Beatrice?!”

“To put it simply… Yes.”

“I will… medical charge… !!”

Tried to apologize.

I thought I was sorry.

but… but!!

‘It’s too much to kill everyone… !!’

Dina clenched her fists and trembled with anger, not fear.

“Faust, you intend to kill us all… That’s it. Everyone who was a warrior party… !”

“yes. Looking back, it was a really long trip. one, one… It wasn’t easy. Now you are the last one, Dyna. If I kill you, it’s almost over.”

Like a seeker who has reached the end of his journey, Faust declared that he would kill even Dyna and finish everything with a tired but proud expression.

“Keugh… !”

Dina, a woman who is unmatched in the field of “showing off”, makes the worst mistake again at this timing.

“It’s you who dies, you devil!!”

— decided to fight Faust, and rushed forward.

“I’ll feed you at least one shot!”

Faust’s eyes seemed like slow motion to Dyna’s energetic lunge with her fists clenched.

He was already preparing his mind to deal with the last one.
